A portrait of oddity through familiarity.  
Impervious to perception. 
Inconceivable to mind.  


Oddtrait No.01

Foundlings are named for the level of their powers. Most Foofees are Foundlings, still learning at a foundational level. But don't underestimate them – potential power is also incredibly important.

The Foofees core elements are built from essential matter that links them to one of 5 essential elements – space, fire, air, water or earth. 

Air Foofees hold an adaptable, ethereal quality that allows them to see many perspectives, to move freely and without inhibition. Often leading navigational, exploratory and free spirited endeavours – they are also wonderful communicators. From a whisper to a roar they were the earliest to develop the telepathic communication method now inherent amongst all Foofees.

Foofee No.03

I heard you yearning through the mycelium. 
A nourishment so tender at the edge of connection.

I absorbed you into the rhizomorphic bloom –  
In, in-between, through and out and all of us.

You became the thread,  
And I became the echo.

Mycorrizhal Transfusion

There is a place that feels like home. It smells of tangy flutter bugs and your warmth. It is calm amongst the chaos. Feels like familiarity on an alien world. Tuck me in where it feels like safety and ease and tenderness in a world filled with hate and fear and violence.

Guardians are most uncommon and serve the Foofee community as revered mentors and guides. They are teachers and carers and connectors with deep knowledge in their given element. Some Guardians go on to become Elementals gaining full mastery over their element and some more become beloved community builders and storytellers.

Space Guardians have the greatest responsibility amongst Guardians. Space contains all the other elements and so it is the most powerful. Training is a vital part of the life of any space Foofee and these Guardians are pivotal in this education. They help teach Foofees how to balance the best (and sometimes worst) qualities of all the elements while learning how to tune in to the bigger picture. Known for making sure every perspective is heard they are driven by fairness and equity above all.

What a gift it is to perceive these mischievous beings that usually exist outside human perception. Rarer indeed that you have found them in a merry gathering. Can you see my friends the Sharpworm, Slugster, Buttserfly, Doghog, Seabirb, Stickbug and Eyetopus?

Spiritlings Party

Elementals are rare and powerful Foofees. Each generation only has one Foofee from each element who can gain the mastery to become an Elemental.

The Air Elemental has immense power and connection to the wind, sky and everything that lives and moves through the flow of imperceivable force around us. A symbol for life, communication and knowledge. Familiar with the great birds and dragonfly alike.

Siucra I

If our brains can only perceive a small percentage of what is actually around us and fills in the gaps to create the world we attach to reality then what could exist in the spaces that are imperceivable to us? 

This work is trying to imagine what is impossible to perceive, and what could also be (un)real. These are The Imperceivables.

Foundlings are named for the level of their powers. Most Foofees are Foundlings, still learning at a foundational level. But don't underestimate them – potential power is also incredibly important.

The Foofees core elements are built from essential matter that links them to one of 5 essential elements – space, fire, air, water or earth. 

Space is the most powerful element as it contains all the other elements. These Foofees form deep connections with all living forms and are often seen as wise and knowing. They balance the best (and sometimes worst) qualities of all the elements and so are profoundly influential. They see the bigger picture and are known for making sure every perspective is heard.

Because of their potential power they are the only Foofees that undergo training in order to fully balance all the elemental power within them.

She is of the soil and the dirt, she's at the root of something you can't detach from.

Created by blending my hand-drawn digital illustrations with my original 3D style text-to-image AI prompt outputs. Deliberately showing the marks of imperfection inherent to the process of an AI tool seeking to understand the visual concept imagined and described by a human artist.
